Is it possible to tell whether something is more or less probable without a context?
e.g the test question which translates as ' write down the address in case you forget'

deciding probability
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using the Spanish "por si/por si acaso" for "in case" (subordinate conditional clause)"
Asked 4 years ago
Hola Thea,
No, without context we can't. But we state in the lesson that we never use El Presente de Subjuntivo after por si/por si acaso, and in this specific question you have two options to choose one:
Escribe la dirección del hotel, por si ___.
(Note down the hotel address in case you forget.)
se te olvide | se te olvida
One is showing the present subjunctive and the other the present indicative, so the only possible correct answer is the second, the indicative.
I hope this clarified it.
Saludos
Inma

Gracias Inma. As usual, if I had read thoroughly all would have been clear.
Saludos
Thea
